    Yeah, the same thing happened to this old cartoon "South Park". I don't remember what happened to the show...

    This forgotten show is the source of a popular slashdot cliche:

    But what story is too big for a Simpsons episode?

    "Like, Marge becomes a robot, maybe Moe gets a cell phone,
    Has Bart ever owned a bear or, How 'bout a crazy wedding?
    Where something happens, and doo doo doo doo, doo..."
